Hello all... I used to own traxxas summit few years ago, but i then sold it because it was too booring for me, too slow and tires were too soft for anything serious.
anyways, recently i had an itch to get back into RC scene again. So i decided to get used savage flux HP. I don't have much choice in my country. I'm from Europe, from Slovenia... So right now there is literally just one of those for sale... rest have engines and that i don't like.
It goes for around 230€, problem is... its quite old model. It still has dual spring setup, and I've read that those were quite bad, compared to single big ones... So my question would be, can i somehow swap them later on for single ones?
it has this engine and esc: XERUN Series Brushless Power System Combo for 1/8 Car

here are a couple of pictures. (i cant post links yet)

(I do not get this many tires with it, he sold them already)
I will also be doing test runs in near future, so yeah i aint buying it just based on pictures.
He did say motor gets a bit warm, but nothing serious. My question to you guys... after 15min of racing or whatever... how warm should motor be? Can you put your finger on it and hold it there? Or do you have to remove finger after few seconds... Any input here would be amazing, since i will test this.
I already have 2x ZIPPY Flightmax 5800mAh 2S1P 30C and charger from few years when i owned traxxas summit. I might get another pair of batteries later on.
